I am working with Tarek to keep Windows issues (and in particular this one) on the agenda. It's quite hard at times, as getting a representative sample of Windows users' preferences/requirements is difficult at best (Windows users seem as a group to be either very quiet, or very easy to please. I'm an exception :-))

If any Windows users want to speak up and help, that would be immensely useful! (And please, identify yourself as such - it's often hard to determine who knows Windows, and who is a Unix user making assumptions or best guesses). I'm a Windows user, and I've also spent a fair bit of time improving Python's bdistmsi support exactly so that we have better support for Windows native package management. However, I don't have enough time to keep up with the massive package management threads. If you want to CC me occasionally to get my feedback on a particular comment though, I'd be happy to speak up.

Thanks for the help guys !

Just to mention, these win32 discussions have now moved back to Distutils-SIG.
